166 Majestic Court Motel

Motel was great

The price was okay for what you get. When we got in, it smelled of chlorine, like the indoor pools. Which I kinda liked tbh. But that only lasted a 20 mins so must have only just been cleaned. Room was of a decent size, beds were algs, kitchen was fine, water pressure in shower was great. the heating was good and had big windows/sliding door for cooling (was quite cold outside at the time). Staff were very friendly at least and it was next to a mall and grocery store. Everyday they bring new towels, bath mat, and hand towels. But that's where everything goes downhill The cold water, when poured into a glass out of the kitchenette sink, came out cloudy and mirky, so go back in time 30 mins to pour the glass of water so it's clear for when you wanna drink it. Next, every morning there was condensation all over the windows and getting anything wet that came in contact. The precious lightbulb above the mirror in the bathroom was blown. The heated towel rail's bottom fixing was broken, so the whole thing was swinging round on the piss which was pretty hori. Then the toilet seat was completely cracked as someone before us assumed it was a softclose toilet seat but it slammed down and broke lmao. Room service could've been better, like actually empty the full rubbish bins and give us more toilet paper if you notice one day we're on the last roll instead of us getting halfway thru a crap and realising theres none left and having to ask for more. And providing face cloths would've been nice. Other than that it was algs.

This motel is in desperate need of maintenance. We booked the 2 bedroom unit and there were multiple issues. Blinds were broken, spa bath not functional, the bathroom area dirty, lights not working in some areas, furniture well past its best. 3 TVs and not one working when we arrived. They did fix the living room one in the end. The photos shown are nothing like the real thing. Be wary if you decide to book this motel. I'd suggest you check the room before paying any money. Expensively priced for what you get.

The managers should be ashamed of the standard of their accommodation. The microwave in our room was filthy There were no pillowcases on the spare pillows. The tea towel had holes in it. There was a plunger but no plunger coffee unusual these days. Hand washing soap was in the bathroom but none in shower cubicle . The towels were not very white. Only product to use in shower was large shampoo bottle that looked like things were floating in it. There were no face washers. The iron plate was broken. The shower curtain was too short for the cubicle. I’ve not stayed in such a poorly service motel for years. I would not recommend this motel .

Sadly, the rooms facilities have declined since my last stay under previous owners. Icebox in fridge totally iced up and dripping- needs a defrost. Information folder not in room; TV had to be checked out as initially not working then could only get netflix. No TV channels. Soap dispenser empty.

Only 10 mins walk to Hagley Park and so close to major shopping malls, cafes and medical centres.

Great experience. Lovely underfloor heating in the tiles. Very clean and tidy. Will use again.

Room was very clean and sufficient for my stay. As it was weekend - no staff on duty but not a problem as key system for entry very easy & texted to phone. Some noise as room near to busy road so if possible would prefer a quieter room next time if possible. Will certainly book again as so handy for Uni and the Mall shops etc.

It's conveniently located, 15mins walk to UC and 5mins walk to Riccarton Westfield. Plenty of parking available and lots of takeaways, shops and eating places close by. Room itself was clean and tidy. Staff were very friendly and they also allowed me to keep my luggage as I arrived early check-in and when I checked out, again they let me keep my luggage till I sorted things out. Thank you
